@musher0 remember that you failed to remove package from puppy-get remove command? The cuprit was on the package registration so I fixed it. Also I found error on generating icewm menu, that error was now fixed

thank you! I thought so...I added the iconner PPA for zoneminder stable and with a minimal of other commands to intilize the mariaDB and create the users www-data and mysql and then create a database and load an .sql file and give a user rights for the database and I can report a successful test and with relative ease was able to install a complete LAMP with a stable zoneminder 1.30.4 up and running!!

this is a very successful test of the puppy-get...... and by using the PPM together I got very good results with an installation of a tricky package to install.

Success using puppy-get as a replacement for apt-get using a bash script to install Apache2 PHP 7.0 MariaDB and ZoneMInder on a fresh install of Xenial 7.5 32bit.
1) added the zoneminder PPA to the ~/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS

#----------------------
#PKG_DOCS_DISTRO_COMPAT - where to download the compat-distro pkgs databases from
#---------------------
# 1|2|3
# 1 - domain. for testing the url.
# 2 - full URI of the database file.
# 3 - name of db file when local and after being processed into standard format

#-------------------
#REPOS_DISTRO_COMPAT - hardcode the compat-distro repos in here...
#-------------------
# 1|2|3
# 1 - domain. for testing the url.
# 2 - full URI of the repo
# 3 - name of db-file(s) associated with that repo. it may have glob wildcards.

then updated the Puppy Package Manager using the option "use verbose method to update" by skipping the zoneminder entry and updating the original repos then again performing the update and skipping everything but the zoneminder packages.

2) installed the puppy-get in ~/my-applications/bin and ran the command:

Code:

#puppy-get update

after letting the package database merge to finish completely then ran this script:

with some small fixes including a small modification of the /etc/ini.d/mysql script and some manual configuration of the Apache modules and adding a valid php.ini that the install script does not address yet...
I was presented at the end with a working ZoneMinder install!
This is closing in on a goal of mine to create a simple any person can do it installation of the zoneminder camera security system on a Puppy Linux OS. I have re-mastered versions and created a one-click intall with a zoneminder-1.30.4.pet..but with a script the latest stable builds can be installed automatically.
Some small hitches but overall puppy-get so far has exceeded expectations and hope this project will continue and be eventually included into the woof_CE system!Last edited by rockedge on Thu 15 Feb 2018, 12:22; edited 2 times in total

I have some really modified Puppy systems to run some software that usually are associated with bigger mainstream distros.... just to see how it compares to running something like zoneminder on a frugal install of puppy...which UPUP 3.9.9.2, Tahr and Xenial all have proven work very well and very reliably on sometimes boxes literally taken out of the garbage.
So a quick simple way to set up lets say a camera security or just to watch to see what the cats do when you're away is a goal of mine for some reason..... and using an older machine running a Puppy OS and a single script to automate the procedure....

otherwise my main Puppy is a stock Tahr 64bit...does all the stuff I need to do.... and quickly...... safely......

pet installed. Who will use it ? If only Puppy Linux School Pupils, or their teachers, UK Linux citizens, we shall wait.
148MB free in my pupsave. Updating on progress.
Commandes
What is strange is that xenialdog can run GCstar for instance and puppy does not, unless loading Devx. Why PPM or Puppy-get do not dowwnload needed stuff..
same for GriffithLast edited by hamoudoudou on Sun 25 Feb 2018, 09:34; edited 3 times in total
